dear user

your son spitting doesnot need to worry about it it just indicate excessive salivation that may occur after viral or bacterial infection or just psychological behaviour
some times infections leads to excessive secretions of the saliva and this not indicative to any treatment or any management as it is self limited after a period of time as the salivations decreases and spitting decrease

also psychological problem or stress of the infant may be the cause of that and need only to psychological support of him as he may adheres to some one behaviour that he may see .........so treatment only avoiding stress of him and psychological support

hope that helps you
